SUMMARY The MAGE-TAB format for microarray data representation and exchange has been proposed by the microarray community to replace the more complex MAGE-ML format. We present a suite of tools to support MAGE-TAB generation and validation, conversion between existing formats for data exchange, visualization of the experiment designs encoded by MAGE-TAB documents and the mining of such document...

The vibrational spectra of platinum nanoparticles (12 nm) capped with tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, C(14)TAB, were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. We have shown that the thermal decay of Pt-C(14)TAB nanoparticles in N(2), H(2), and O(2) atmospheres leads to the release of the hydrocarbon chain of the surfactant and the formation of a strongly bonded layer ...

Tabata (TAB) training, consisting of eight cycles of 20 seconds of maximal exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest, is time-efficient, with aerobic and anaerobic benefit. This study investigated the cardiovascular and metabolic demands of a TAB versus traditional (TRAD) resistance protocol with the kettlebell swing. Fourteen young (18-25y), non-obese (BMI 25.7±0.8 kg/m2) participants reported o...

OBJECTIVES Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) is performed in suspected cases of sight-threatening giant cell arteritis (GCA). We aimed to determine the feasibility of TAB in patients who are suspected of having GCA. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A retrospective audit of all patients undergoing TAB at a single teaching hospital between 2005 and 2011, identified from the histopathology database. ...

Le tissu adipeux brun (TAB) est le principal site de production de chaleur adaptive par des mCcanismes sans frissons chez les mammifkres. Ce tissu est particulibrement important chez le nouveau-nt d’un certain nombre d’espbces, chez les hibernants, et chez les rongeurs adultes adaptCs au froid. La chaleur est gCnCrCe dans le TAB par une voie de conductance des protons dans les mitochondries qui...

BACKGROUND Cardiac hypertrophy is considered a necessary compensatory response to sustained elevations of left ventricular (LV) wall stress. METHODS AND RESULTS To test this, we inhibited calcineurin with cyclosporine (CsA) in the setting of surgically induced pressure overload in mice and examined in vivo parameters of ventricular volume and function using echocardiography. Normalized heart ...

The development of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to Salmonella typhi antigens and immunoglobulin and C(3) levels were determined in patients suffering from typhoid fever, TAB-vaccinated individuals, and appropriate controls. In 45 patients with typhoid, a significant elevation of immunoglobulin M (IgM) level was noted from the first week of illness onwards. Eighteen TAB-vaccinated ...
